Plenty swell at the buoys. The maps below of January 14 through 16 show the two primary sources of energy, one with a more northerly component, the other with a more westerly one. Home guess for Hookipa is around double overhead and more manageable than yesterday. One more day of moderate kona and then we're in for a treat of several days of no to light wind.

 Wind map at noon. The other ones can be found here.
